Summer in the City.

Berlin in summer: gardens in full bloom, open courtyards, long evenings – and right at the heart of it all, Charlottenburg, one of the city’s most vibrant neighbourhoods. Just a few minutes by bicycle from Savignyplatz, between restaurants, galleries and the Tiergarten, lies the Wilmina.

Born from a former courthouse and women’s prison – transformed by Grüntuch Ernst Architekten into an extraordinary retreat with hotel, restaurant, bakery and bar. Recognised by the Michelin Guide and multiply awarded for its sustainable architecture.

Hidden. In the heart of Berlin.

This family-run hotel offers 66 rooms, apartments and lofts – from classic rooms to the light-filled Penthouse. Each is unique: historic authenticity meets modern comfort with handcrafted Coco-Mat beds made from natural materials, bright colours and soft textures.

At its heart is the Atrium, with a floating installation of glass Bocci pendant lights. Beyond that: library, fireplace lounge, bar, spa with sauna, gym and a Rooftop Pool with panoramic views across Charlottenburg.

Lovis –
Contemporary German Cuisine

Restaurant Lovis is housed in the former Schleusenhof – one of Berlin’s most extraordinary dining settings. Head chef Sophia Rudolph serves Contemporary German Cuisine – seasonal, regional, crafted with great care and precision. Lovis is listed in the Michelin Guide and featured in 50 Best Discovery 2022.

The Lovis Bar next door follows the same philosophy: drinks arranged by aroma and flavour rather than brand names. In summer, the bar opens onto the lush green courtyard – one of the finest spots for an aperitif in the city.

Wilmina Brot –
Craft & Patience

Right on Kantstraße 80, Wilmina Brot supplies the hotel – and the whole neighbourhood – with fresh natural sourdough bread every day. Ancient grains, heritage varieties, long fermentation times: baked by hand, with finely developed flavours and exceptional digestibility.

The bread is also a cornerstone of the Wilmina breakfast – served in the courtyard or lobby, alongside regional produce and house-made spreads. The perfect start to a summer day in Berlin.

Lotta –
Morning to Evening

„Next to Wilmina” – im lichtdurchfluteten Neubau von Grüntuch Ernst öffnet die Lotta Day Bar täglich ihre Türen: morgens Specialty Coffee, mittags hausgemachte regionale Spezialitäten, nachmittags Aperitivo.

In summer, the ivy-covered courtyard – grown over decades – invites you to linger: a quiet green oasis in the middle of Charlottenburg.
